This thread has a lot of pages and posts. I'm sorry that I did not have the time to read through all of it. I applied 845 after keeping the bottle in the Hawaiian sun on a cloudy day for an hour. It was still chunky so I had to use hot water in a large bowl to heat up the container so the wax was turned into liquid.
I will admit that the first panel coated using a DA was a little thick on application to get used to the product. I think this is where my problem began.
After a day (80 degrees weather all week/year), my hood hazed up on me after sitting in the garage the whole time overnight. No problem, I read about others having the same problem. I wiped down the hood with Meg's UQD and the haze was gone. After three days, the haze appeared on the hood again but was gone by the next morning (no buffing or wiping). After another two days, the haze was back in the evening and gone by morning.
The haze after the second time appeared in the early evening after the car sat out in the sun all day at work. After the first day, I could understand since I probably applied it too thick on the hood since that was my starting point. After buffing it off with QD, why would it come back?
I think the humidity has something to do with the haze but cannot justify it without further testing. No other product has hazed on me after buffing it off. I've used many straight OTC carnauba waxes before too. 845 was a little difficult to take off compared to anything I've used in the past (carnauba wax, Zaino, NXT, ULW and Menzerna PL).
The shine was great on a '13 Toyota RAV4 dark green paint. I just don't think the work to apply and remove was worth it. Considering the haze I had to deal with, I would not want to use this again.
Did I do something wrong? What causes the haze later on after buffing off? I wanted this wax to work, so I would appreciate any help to keep this wax. Buffing off the wax manually was harder than most things I have tried. Is this normal?
